Hi, We've been doing some tests here and we noticed a problem when using mplayer that we didn't have previously(on 2.6.27). While playing audio through OSS emulation on 2.6.30 / at91sam9g20ek there seems to be issue with hardware parameters. The sound does not play and a bunch of error messages are comming on the console. Here is the test case on angstrom: -- mplayer output sample ------------------------- mplayer -quiet myfile.mp3 MPlayer 1.0rc1-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: ARM Playing /media/sda/audio/01.mp3.
